Suffield D Compressor Station
Alberta

Capital Cost - $ 7 MM

The Mandate. The client was looking to optimize the compression at an existing station:

• Better handling (avoid temperature and capacity issues) of lowering inlet pressure by changing from three stages of compression to four stages of compression
• Replace older equipment to minimize future downtime and repair bills.

The Solution. GRB engineered and managed the installation of the following equipment:

• One 3550 BHP, two stage reciprocating compressor package with a Cat G3612TA LE Driver, and an Ariel JGC/6 Compressor
• Three-phase utility power brought into site by the local utility vendor
• A transformer for hook-up of the three phase utility power
• A new electrical building containing the MCC for the K8 package
• Above ground piping and electrical cable trays
• Additional yard fencing surrounding the new compressor
• A sales trim cooler, with bypass, for use during the summer months
